Plus it is an unfair standard since so many scientists in the past have been caught unethically using the work of others without attribution (and so many more have been accused).

In history we also repeatedly see the phenomenon of multiple discovery or simultaneous invention. If that happens to AI because the topic is pregnant, would you call it "plagiarism" just to disparage AI? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery

Recklessly prompting OpenAI without a care to the safety of their knowledge.

And after that trying to cast aspersions at OpenAI?

Hopefully we get some better facts, because OpenAI are disliked enough that a smear campaign could work against them.

Edit: also the narritive is getting framed as OpenAI versus Anthropic. A highly political extremely capitalist fight is going on, and facts are victims.

Threadcount, Watts, cubic inches: different products use different misleading measures.

The Strontium-90 is a beta radiation emitter.

  The external radiation level of the IBIS [is] 75 mR/hr at 12 inches in the failure (extended) mode.

  MH-53E maintainer here. The system is IBIS (Inflight Blade Inspection System) and the little pods are BIM (blade inspection monitors). The box is pretty obvious sitting just behind the main rotor on the deck above the center engine. I found a random picture on the web:

And:

  The IBIS devices provide in-flight warning of blade failure on various models of helicopters. One device is located on the root of each blade attached to the rotor. The IBIS detects a decrease in pressure in the blades of a CH-53 model helicopter. Any cracks in the blades will result in a decrease in air pressure in the blade. Such cracks could result in structural failure in the blade, thereby resulting in a potentially dangerous operational situation for the helicopter, such as a hard landing and/or injury to the craft and/or personnel up to, and including, death. Each device contains approximately 500 microcuries (18.5 MBq) of strontium-90 (Sr-90) in the form of a rolled metal foil, encased in a small stainless steel protective cylinder about the size of the press button on a ballpoint pen. The external radiation level of the IBIS is 0.8 mR/hr at 3 inches in the normal (shielded) mode, and 75 mR/hr at 12 inches in the failure (extended) mode.

A humanoid robot doing burger flipping is a commodity. You can estimate the return per hour.

A specialised robot is a design and maintenance headache. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475993

SaaS and mobile has taken over many apps. We sell SaaS to business and govt clients where most end users are either on a browser or a mobile app. There is a Windows application (path dependent history) but it is almost vestigial for configuration/management.

cannibalism actually makes some sort of sense [...if] you're not consuming people who were themselves cannibals

You can't just feed the poor to the poor - it amplifies diseases like kuru

If they were in job where they were saving $50k a year, then after becoming a founder they should be getting $50k worth of preferential shares per year because they are investing that much in the business.

Not that I've actually ever heard of founders getting preferential shares to match their dollars invested.

VCs get preferential shares, not common. Preferential shares have economic rights to protect the investors, but more importantly they usually have extra control rights like veto abilities, board seats, IPO control, or ability to sack the founder (which may even cut out the founder's voting rights by sunsetting their class A common into class B common shares).

Employees get a third tier of stock (e.g. options that convert to non-voting class B common shares).

After IPO the preferential sheets becomes common shares. The dual A class may be removed or have sunset clauses because large public investors prefer one plain common share class.

Not a VC - so take above as written by a student. Founders in zero sense have the same voting control as VCs.

Edit: VCs play the same game over and over again, against different innocent founders. VCs know how to stack everything in their favour - especially using social cues and "norms" that benefit them. My favourite article on this is: https://siliconhillslawyer.com/2019/02/18/relationships-and-...

Down here in the colony of New Zealand, the influence of the colony of North America is very noticeable. Music is the most directly attributable, but different media affects different demographics.

  When your application to defer the tax is granted, payment is deferred for three years. Once the three years have passed, you'll receive an invoice stating the amount that you owe, including interest.

Inhabitable: there are people living there off their own gardens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samosely

However Undesirable to you or I.

If refugees were allowed to live there, I wonder how many people would choose radiation over their current worse situations?

The article mentions people moving from Donbas (perhaps less inhabitable): "Following the outbreak of the war in Donbas in 2014, refugees from that conflict settled in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone or nearby".

Or you design the majority of loads so they can be turned off for 2% of the time.

Load shedding is a better solution than running peakers for [heated] towel rails.

No way is a person doing it for mass production.

Selection pressure rewards successful genetic reproduction.

What actually happens at the scale of the organism is mostly irrelevant except how it affects reproduction.

A genetic predisposition towards chopping legs off would be selected for, if chopping legs off resulted in more children than otherwise.

Chopping legs off after having no more children (e.g. after menopause or vasectomy) has no direct genetic outcome (instead indirectly via improved/worstened reproduction of children or relatives).

To be clearer: reproduction is the key (survival matters for reproduction and upbringing).

That's a good summary, although the details are sublimely trickier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene-centered_view_of_evolutio...

Both products are still available and it seems they both have the same complaints from a decade ago.

"Dell continues to treat mild-to-moderate coil whine as an inherent characteristic of components rather than a manufacturing defect".

Leave a review to help others, but don't expect manufacturers to care about even egregious issues.

They don't compromise - even when a compromise would strictly improve the world. Well, most voters hate to make compromises but the greenies seem to do it harder. In NZ we have a very left wing Green Party who in theory could have power in a minority coalition with our "conservative" party. However politically it would never work. I think both parties veto working together, but New Zealand loses out on green progress because of that. Instead the Greens only make a coalition with the left, which is already quite green focused so the Greens remain rather impotent.

Conservative greeny voters in New Zealand need better representation.

Fortunately our heat pumps usually also have AC. I can only guess we don't have any insane rules about that because having a heatpump with AC has been normal for decades (AC isn't just for the hated tall-poppy wealthy: and very few have a dedicated aircon unit).

I propose you buy enough ingredients from the supermarket and make a big batch.

The scientific test is: how far do you get, before your door is kicked in?

If that fails, then science #2: have fun lighting it!!

You almost win both ways. (although I admit I wouldn't fund you even via a trustworthy intermediary say a Kickstarter campaign.

Surely at some point Google has to find a way to fight back against Edge et al. Perhaps only if they start losing significant market share - owning standards has value. I wonder if Google has longer term lock-in plans (maybe springboarding off Android). I guess it is hard to have internal intent while avoiding discovery for antimonopoly laws
